The Power of INFINITY :

Landmark project takes the high life to a new peak

Cimi Suchontan

The wait is almost over. It's launch Is set for October. It's name is "Infinity". It's purpose: to be Bangkok's latest six-star residence. It's creator, Golden Land, makes no secret that it is a "flagship project".

As we speak, Infinity is being translated from paper into form, from thought to reality.

A toast to the city's skyline by the prime Central Business Distric at Sathorn, Infinity is freehold property converting a 2.5 rai plot of land.

How can best describe it?

Think of the world's best, says Golden Land's cheif executive officer Liakat Sultan Chanji.
Think of London's Mayfair and New Yorj's 5th Avenue.

Think major league, imagine worldclass standards, a cosmopolitan centre, rooms overlooking panoramic views.

When it was recently touted behind closed doors, Infinity gave it's audiences such a thrill, 10 bookings were soon made thereafter.

It has that kind of appeal.
As with most things dear, supply will be limited.
the chance for homebuyers to sample it's charms will come in October, when Infinity is unveiled in it's entirely.

Built on Legendary Grounds :

At the core of every great city's prime residential centre, lies a great history.
Mayfair's goes back several centuries, Fifth Avenue is nearly as old as New York.
Infinity's core lies at an adjacent site on the old Russian Embassy grounds.

The area is part of Bangkok's financial districs, surrounded by corporate headquarters, some of the finest hotels, embassies and consulates.

The Russian Embassy vacated the grounds in 1999 after being based there for 50 years. the newleaseholder of the 11-rai site is Golden Land.

When it acquired the lease, the company knew what they would build on it would have to be extraordinary.

The site commands a strategic junction, where the BTS skytrain turns into Narathiwat, before it runs towards Silom, the city's business center.

Upon it, Golden Land will build Sathorn Square, a urban complex that aims to be Bangkok's answer to Mayfair and Fifth Avenue.

Peserving a culltural heritage :

Contrary to what many people had thought, we had always intended to preserve the Russian Embassybuildings when we acquired the leass, says Dhanji.

The building will look even more stuning than today when Sathorn Square opens.

The Fine Arts Department has designated the place as a historical site.

Golden Land is working with the department to preserve the buildings and restore it to it's greatness.

Restoration work has already started and when finished the building will most likely form part of a boutique hotel and will opened to the public.

"It will be our contribution to the people." says Dhanji.

Two magnificent additions to the grounds will be an upscale hotel-retail property and a tower that will house commercial as well as residential units.

These will form the key pillars for a neww community rising from the historical site.

Golden Land is currrently in the final stages of concluding a decision to award the architectural work to a shortlist of renowned builders.
In all, Sathorn Square will have approximately 200,000 square meters of built-up area. The Infinity which covers about 2 rai of freehold land next door willl have a buit-up area of 28,000 square meters.

Oh hell yea!
now they need to make the office tower taller. As tall as Baiyoke II but in the center of the city.

The Office Tower is about 225 Meters., no more than 240.

This entire project looks exciting !!!! and especially the "Infinity" project...not sure why they will only start construction in mid-2005 though? Maybe waiting for environmental impact reports? or title deed transfers?

really private na.. 40 storey and only 98 units... too bad it starts construction only in May 2005. So i still have some hope to collect 1 million baht to live there until 2008 :cheers:

umm..Zimoune,,I dont think 1 million baht will be enough for just the 10% downpayment booking fee when you reserve the unit and sign the purchase contract (starting next month)...

i mean 1 Million USD... But i just heard it will start around 10 Million Baht for some units, not too bad umm

i mean 1 Million USD... But i just heard it will start around 10 Million Baht for some units, not too bad umm

Oh OK :) really? 10 Million Baht? I think that might be too cheap for one unit in this building (only 98 units on 40 floors??) but let's see..... :)

That used to be an old Chinese cemetary right? I don't know how many buyers would like to know that piece of information.

really Hitesh??? when, how, where?? this is IMPORTANT info to buyers....

not good idea to build an apartment highrise under a cemetary, that building will have lots of spooky stuff then

not good idea to build an apartment highrise under a cemetary, that building will have lots of spooky stuff then


Have to tell that to Singaporean and Hongkong Residents, since thousands of Residential developments built up on such a thing.

I my self, think that it's not importan' to keep up with old stuff. I mean, life have to move on, so does death......cant hold things forever, and that wouldnt stop me from buying a unit there anyway., same as other buyers I'm sure.

It might not bother you but when you try to sell, its a bit harder.....

Different people, different thoughts.

thai people are very afraid of those things, so that apartment wont have many thai buyers if that will come out :D

not only Thai people, but most Asians and even more than a few Westerners.

I got my real estate brokers license in California just for fun--it expired already (after grad school) and in California if you dont disclose a murder in the house/grave yard/etc. to a buyer you can be sued in court and will lose. this is important info to buyers

thai people are very afraid of those things, so that apartment wont have many thai buyers if that will come out :D


How do you know, " "Thai people" are very afraid of those things."

are there any actual statement saying so?, just dont judge people with only according to your self's opinion.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/gallery11_stsq.jpg

I just asked a group of Thai colleagues in my office, whether they would buy a condo built on a cemetary (already moved cemetary) and all of them very quickly (and at the same time) said NO way will not buy......they didnt even ask any questions about where, when how..... I think this might be some indication....just for fun I will ask people in my gym tonight :)

How do you know, " "Thai people" are very afraid of those things."

not only my self opinion, you are thai yourself, I thought you knew that as well.

I knew that new generations dont really care for such a thing, may be thats for "my" generation.....

And anyway, if not so.....what would you do to that piece of land then. Leave it like that?, or make it as a historical site for old cemetary?

I'm sure I'll see your complanation again Rayman.

I dont care for it that much either but I do have big respect for those things, and if I knew there was a cemetary there before I would not buy it.

Yeah the new generation are more westernized, but even western people wouldnt buy a condo for high prices if they knew there was a cemetary there.

It's a bit funny to see how some people's life cant go on as smooth as they want to without little complanation they can make on eveything, as some say...some people just dont know whats enough/perfect means.

And anyway, if not so.....what would you do to that piece of land then. Leave it like that?, or make it as a historical site for old cemetary?

I'm sure I'll see your complanation again Rayman.


whats up with the attitude??

having a bad day??

seems like you cant take it if someone have different opinion than you, very childish

new or old generation, Asian or Western....will be harder to sell condo with cemetary :runaway:

whats up with the attitude??

having a bad day??

seems like you cant take it if someone have different opinion than you, very childish


Please, dont start Rayman., I still prefer to have u here.

dont start what??

I didnt start anything , you got upset because I said it will be hard to sell apartments there because of a cemetary :sleepy:

Please, dont start Rayman., I still prefer to have u here.
seems like you dont :cry:

enough, my part of conversation is over.

I just asked a group of Thai colleagues in my office, whether they would buy a condo built on a cemetary (already moved cemetary) and all of them very quickly (and at the same time) said NO way will not buy......they didnt even ask any questions about where, when how..... I think this might be some indication....just for fun I will ask people in my gym tonight :)

so what gym do you go to speed?? :) in your condo?? , california gym?? or which one?:)

ok i regret bringing that up now. i just thought everyone knew.
my bad.
I wont post pictures of the cemetary here. I am sure they are on the 2Bangkok site, I remember seeing it there a while ago.

FYI though, they allowed family members to claim the bodies of their relatives for re-burial somewhere else and the unclaimed bodies were cremated. So there are no graves on the site anymore.

Now lets get back to talking about the building.

Nice building anyway...is there a web site?

The official website will up next month

www.goldenlandplc.com/infinity

so what gym do you go to speed?? :) in your condo?? , california gym?? or which one?:)

I alternate between California, condo gym, and some hotel gyms where I know the managers or instructors :)

The official website will up next month

www.goldenlandplc.com/infinity

cool cant wait to see details :)

WOW !!! I'm glad that they are going to do it. It's such a hugh project in CBD. That area will look stunning. Can't wait. !!

มีสุสานจีนอยู่ข้างๆ the infinity
ไม่ใช่ว่า the infinity สร้างบนสุสานนะครับ

Beautiful heritage building.....yellow....just like the old French colonial buildings in Hanoi.....

Good to see this started!

Bouygues as main contractor... again

regarding Infinity, the sales office said the smallest unit will be 103 square meters (two bedrooms, no 1 bedrooms will be built) and prices starting from 10 Million up! so one square meter is about 100,000 Baht, wow.....one of the most expensive....

by the way, according to the sales office, cemetary is not under the building....but near the building, one Farang cemetary and one Chinese cemetary...Farang cemetary will move in two years, not sure about Chinese one. The Infinity will be triangle "footprint" not square "footprint" like most buildings......the views will be designed so that cemetary is not visible.

so, sales office is on the Sathorn Square office plot? do they plan to start construction of condominium and serviced apartment before?

Yes, I think the Construction of the Condominium tower will comes first, and then The office tower will launch as follow.

umm, strange that they do not put sale office inside new Ascott building, just opposite, so they can start construction before... Anyway, must have some reason! I like that project, very good location, and nice design also...

Gold to launch luxury condo

THOSATHORN KRUTHANAWAT staff writer

Goldenland Property Development Plc (Gold), one of Thailand’s leading developers, said it plans to launch a luxury condominium worth 1.8 billion baht in November.

The company said in a statement presented to investors that with the success of Sky Villas, the company is now preparing to launch its freehold condominium project, The Infinity, pictured right, at its Sathorn Square site in November.

The Sky Villas apartments, with an average price of 74,000 baht per sqm, have sold 104 units out of a total of 128 units. The company also expects to sell the balance units by the end of October and transfer all units by the end of this year.

Gold targets to generate about 1.35 billion baht in revenue from this project.

Infinity Tower is a 1.8 billion baht project in the central business district on Narathiwas road. The 33-storey building will consist of 110 premium grade units in combination of two and four bedroom units, with three exclusive penthouses.

Design of the building is currently in progress with construction scheduled to commence in the second quarter of next year and completion schedule for the second quarter of 2007.

Gold’s chief executive officer Liakit Dhanji said its current revenue forecast for housing sales for the full-year is 2.8 billion baht, which will be mainly generated from Golden Nakara, a single detached housing project where the transfer of its pre-built houses alone will yield 1.1 billion baht from August through to November.

The remaining revenue will come from its three single detached housing projects, from the sale of land at Krabi and the sale of its condominium project.

Baan Khlongsai Villas and Spa Resort is one of the company’s luxury resort projects in Krabi. The project comprises 150 hotel rooms and 50 villas with an associated spa. In addition, there will be 50 villas for sale, which may also be added to the hotel’s pool of rooms.

In the first half of this year, the company reported revenue of 1.9 billion baht. The company also generated about 146.97 million baht of net profit in the first half of this year, a decline from the 207.62 million baht reported in the same period last year.

Gold shares on Thursday closed down 0.1 baht or 1.1 percent to 9 baht.

The company also said that it will launch the second phase of Golden Nakara, a single detached housing project, in November and its flagship project for next year. Golden Monaco, a 4.56 billion baht single detached housing project, is due to be launched in December.

Gold also reported to investors on the progress of its other two serviced apartments. It said the Mayfair Marriott, which has been in operation for more than a year, has now achieved a 90 percent occupancy rate with room rates currently second only to the Emporium Serviced Apartment.

The company is confident Ascott Sathorn, which had a soft launch last June, can achieve an average occupancy of around 70 percent by the year-end.

33-storey of residential, 7 storey of car park, 3 mechanical floors... As high as expected :)

Why u posted the article that I already posted ?

Looks like the same staff writer and same article. But in the most recent one, it mentions that "The Infinity" will downgrade to 33 storey ONLY??!??

but still, no need to post it two times, please delete it before I do.

i am just not sure if it is YOUR article or mine that is right... 33 strorey or 40 storey is a lot different, and we still do not know who is right. Secondly, it is the second time i notice you change my post by yourself, so if you wanna delete it, do it yourself but stop to change MY post.

Calm dude!! dont be so panic, look carefully before you scream...I'll tell u that.

Look, There WILL be 33 Levels OVER 7 Floors of Carpark, prove it with your eyes., newspaper article mostly dont mention carpark level as in my experience..

Cycil, i think it will open for sale at the end of the month, according to the sale office avancement.

I like the curve facade of this building. Any idea when they'll commence construction of the office tower?

refering to the news, not before second quarter of next year... refering to that sale office that is located on the land plot of the future office tower, not before the Infinity condominium will be sold out!

ok thanks Zimoune.

that sales office is huge! seems to be as big as the whole floor of the Infinity (A3 parcel)..

so this is the location huh. wow. this intersection will be very nice then with SathornNakorn, Empire Tower, Bangkok City Tower, and Sathorn Squre:)

SATHORN SQUARE: Historic site boosts value of project

Itthi C Tan

The former Russian embassy will be restored for a massive city development

Bangkok lacks efforts to preserve its historic architecture. As a result, invaluable buildings with their trees and parks are often destroyed in the name of urban development.

When the lease of the former Russian embassy switched hands, many people feared its splendid grounds would be knocked down to pave the way for skyscrapers.

Putting those fears to rest, the new owner of the lease – Golden Land – recently announced that the original buildings would stay intact and be restored.

The more astute real estate developers have found that it pays to rescue historical sites. For example, the Oriental Hotel and Singapore’s Raffles Hotel saw their land values jump after they were renovated and became swanky properties that could draw trendy retail operators and upmarket customers.

The Oriental took the pains to preserved its “Author’s Wing”, in order to forge a link between its 130-year-old past with its present-day operations.

Likewise, the Russian embassy’s three buildings will be restored to become a key element in Golden Land’s massive 220,00-square-metre Sathorn Square mixed-use project.

Sathorn Square will house a five-star hotel, office tower, shopping mall and residential condominium.

In addition to these projects, Golden Land has bought an additional 2.5 rai of freehold land next to the embassy. The site will be used for its luxury 33-storey condominium called “Infinity”.

The Grade-A residence offers its smallest 80-square-metre, two-bedroom units for Bt10 million.

A bigger two-bedroom unit covers 105 square metres, while its three bedrooms are between 124 and 220 square metres. Construction has started at the site, which faces both Sathorn Road and Narathiwat Road.

The firm’s chief executive Liakat Sultan Dhanji said the restoration work served two main purposes. “Firstly, it is to retain the sense of history for the grounds, which have a distinguished past, thus making the site a unique location.

“All the great shopping centres in the world have a history. Whether it is Fifth Avenue in New York or Mayfair in London, the difference between these centres and other places is they are imbedded in history.

“Secondly, we would like to return to the public what we believe is part of Thailand’s rich heritage.”

The business of a property developer is not always to sell real estate but to play the part of a good citizen, he said, adding, “We should contribute our share to society.”

The history of the Russian embassy site can be traced to 1914 when Luang Sathorn, a prominent nobleman, built a magnificent mansion as his residence.

Some years later when his fortunes waned, it was turned into a hotel in 1927.

From 1948 to 1999, a 50-year lease of the grounds was sold to the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR).

It served as a key embassy in Asia during the turbulent periods of the Cold War and the Indochina conflict.

It was a key player in Asia even as the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR broke up.

The next 50 years should prove glorious as a revival of its grounds is underway, said Dhanji, who aims to shape it into one of Bangkok’s cosmopolitan centres.

The building will look even more stunning than before, when Sathorn Square opens,” he said. The Fine Arts Department will take charge of the restoration work, with Golden Land supporting the effort.

Infinity, meanwhile, will be marketed overseas to tap investors keen to bank on the nearest piece of freehold property next to the square, he added.

The showroom looks good.I like the front with the name.

So much work for a showroom. It looks really pleasant with the lawns and large window front.

it tooks a lot of timeto build it, but it ended very nicely. Wish to see the project success.

and sadly will be completely gone after sales end...:(

Do they dismantle the showroom and reuse/sell the materials after they are done with it?

Probably not.

oh i remember this one

looks very nice!

hope they can start construction asap :banana:

I HOPE SO. WISH TO SEE THE BUILDING RISING SOON. WAITING TO SEE ONE MORE BEAUTIFUL HIGH RISE IN BANGKOK CBD

seems like somebody ask you what you were doing on the picture!!! ahah, i think you were just taken a picture of that superb sale office!

...This afternoon, I visited the sales center to see the mock up room. All of the visitors were foreigners who had a purchasing power, but I was pretty disappointed 'bout the show unit-very small and dark. Type D, 127 Sq.M. with 2 Bedrooms + 2 bathrooms + terrace, costs 14 million baht.Unbelievably, one of three wings are sold out!!!.....that's superultraexpensive....so so so expensive. :eek2:

what do they call a wing??? do you have any floorpolan sebastien?

Look at this rendition Zim, u can see the building is actually divided into 3 seperated wings conjoined with the central lift core?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/infinity-1.jpg

so, if there are approx. 100 units in total, and units regularly split in three wings. Does it mean that there is only one units per floor (wingfloor). If yes, it must be really cool! ;) So private...

Extreme Luxurious deserves Extreme Privacy...:)

So expensive. But i think it will look good when it's finish

....The building is devided into 2 parts--level 7-27 will be regular unit and level 28-35 will be Infinity Mansion. On level 7-27, one wing is comprised of 2 units, so there are 6 units/floor ; On level 28-35, one floor will be devided into 3 units-one wing,one unit.
The Infinity Sky Villas,level 7-27 floor plan...

wow, i did not expected that price!

Feb 13, 2005 :

Note : The showroom seems to be always very busy


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/DSC00717.jpg

seems like they change masterplan a lot. There 2 hotel towers linked together (impressive design), 1 serviced apartment, one shopping center and 1 condominium tower. No mention about office towers. If have some office space, then it should be mix in one of those tower i guess, but should be a lot reduced from what have been announced before!

There is an office tower, which sited to be "on" what the showroom situated on right now.

really? from their brochure, seems to be a 5-star hotel tower. Anyway, maybe a mix, or a problem of brochure update...

Golden Land targets B6bn in revenues

Super-deluxe condo among six projects

KANANA KATHARANGSIPORN



The listed developer Golden Land Property Development Plc expects to generate sales of six billion baht from one condominium and five detached housing projects by the end of 2005.

Chief executive Liakat Dhanji said the company would spend one billion baht to develop a luxury condominium, The Infinity, worth two billion baht at the Sathon-Narathiwat Ratchnakarin intersection.

The project's construction will start in the third quarter of this year and be completed in 2007.

The Infinity will comprise 108 condo units, priced between nine million and 35 million baht, and three penthouse units costing at least 50 million baht each.

The project will to officially launched on March 15 and sales are expected to be closed by June. Already 32 units have been reserved, mostly by Thais.

``We will provide world-class kitchen fixtures, Poggenpohl, which famous people and celebrities like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and David Beckham use. So, we won't do mass marketing but will hold three private parties for top executives who are our targeted buyers,'' Mr Dhanji said.

He added that the condominium project would also provide wireless intelligent home automation developed by Advanced Info Service Plc.

Besides the two-rai freehold site, the company has another seven rai of leasehold land adjacent to the Infinity. The plot, where the Russian Embassy was formerly located, was leased from the Crown Property Bureau for 30 years.

The company will spend five billion baht to develop a mixed-use project, One Sathorn Square, on the leasehold plot.

It will include a six-star hotel, an office building, a serviced apartment and shopping areas.

It will also develop new phases at its four existing housing projects in Pin Klao, Sathon, Srinakarin and Bang Na areas.

Mr Dhanji said the company planned to develop a new detached housing project on 187 rai on Rama II Road in the fourth quarter of this year when a new industrial ring road is due to open. The project will have 400 houses, at prices starting from 4.8 million baht.

At the same time, the Polo Park low-rise condominium project worth five billion baht will be developed early next year.

Golden Land will also develop the high-end Baan Klong Sai Villa and Spa Resort in Krabi, consisting of six two-storey buildings on 120 rai. Unit prices will vary from 30-40 million baht each.

Shares of Golden Land closed yesterday on the Stock Exchange of Thailand at 11 baht, down 40 satang, in trade worth 2.5 million baht.

Golden Land banks on six new projects


Golden Land Property Development Plc has given details of six new housing and condominium projects, which it expects will boost sales by up to Bt6 billion this year.

Chief executive Liakat Sultan Dhanji said yesterday his company would invest up to Bt4 billion in the projects, which are for four detached housing developments and two condominiums.

Dhanji said the projects would offer unit prices between Bt9 million and Bt50 million.

The first of the new projects is Infinity Condominium, a luxury development that is part of the Sathorn Square project on Sathorn Road.

Dhanji said Sathorn Square would eventually comprise an office building, a hotel and a shopping mall as well as the Infinity Condominium, and would represent a total investment of up to Bt5 billion. It is expected to be completed in five years.

Infinity Condominium will be the first part of the huge project. Construction will begin in the second half of this year at a cost of Bt2 billion, and the condominium will be complete in three years. He said the company had already taken 30 bookings for units.

The company will also launch four detached housing projects this year. The first will be located on Rama II Road, with 400 units at prices up to Bt4.8 million.

Dhanji said demand for housing in the Rama II Road area had continued to grow, and there was stiff competition among a number of developers.

Meanwhile, the company plans to launch a detached housing project in the style of a resort and spa in Krabi province. To be called “Baan Klong Sai Villa and Spa Resort”, it will cater for the high end of the market with unit prices up to Bt30 million. It will cost about Bt1 billion and pre-sales will begin in the second half of the year.

5 Stars Luxury Hotel and Excutive Residence @ Sathorn Square :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/stqs1.jpg

I like the concept focused on "romantism" with large Venise Canal, and superb bathroom inside each unit. As large as te bedroom. Lighting is charming and living inside an orchidee is excitting.

But they are asking 30% deposit for condo within 3 months to prevent from speculators!!! it is pretty a lot, when we know they don't put that money in safe and they will not start construction before second half!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/stsq6890.jpg

I think Pilling work will starts within this month or the next.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/stsq3.jpg

I love to see it in real life like this.Good idea. Like a community and city in one area. and SAKS Fifth ? I wish.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/fact-stsq.gif

so Zimoune was right in that they have scrapped the office building?
personally I think the twin towers design looks too much like petronas

So, they will build one sathorn square instead of the office tower?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/fact-stsq.gif
Wahhh there are over 300 masterplan concepts for Sathorn Square?!! I didn't know that. Anyway are they going to replace the office tower proposal on the corner parcel with this 5 star hotel and executive residence?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/stqs1.jpg

wow what a wonderful looking project :eek2:

The Mayfair units looks very interesting! Nice positioning and affordable sizes (of course President units are preferred if you have a rich Aunt :) )

yeh very nice looking units :) BTW the Sathorn 1 building looks like a hotel in Bahamas.. but very interesting though.

so Zimoune was right in that they have scrapped the office building?
personally I think the twin towers design looks too much like petronas

They did not scrapped an offices, why dont you just look at those articles above.

Petronas?, Are you kidding?...means every twin towers with skybridge would represent Petronas ha.

This article makes no mention of an office....only condos, hotel, residences, shopping center, restaurant, boutique hotel, spa, gardens, food court, supermarket, canals, cafes, etc. ....but it seems very wonderful anyway :)
much nicer than Regent....anyway LOTS of office building around that area so its OK....

...

1. Those articles are older than the newer plans and maps posted.
2. Do you know of any other twin towers with pointy roofs and a skybridge?
3. Instead of using a size 40 font, explain where on that map the office tower is going to be.

Yeah I see some similarities now. The rounded sides also.

Busy showroom again

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/chady/Bangkok2/DSC00784.jpg

Infinity opens showroom

Itthi C Tan

The Infinity aims to be one of the most prestigious addresses in Bangkok’s central business district when it is completed in 2007.

Rising on a prime plot measuring a little under two rai, the project is located on Narathiwat Road, off Sathorn, near the former Russian Embassy.

Developed by Golden Land, the project seeks to take advantage of the Sathorn Square development, which is also being built by Golden Land.

Sathorn Square is a multi-purpose megastructure that contains a Grade-A office tower, a five-star hotel, boutiques and serviced apartments.

Infinity will be connected to this grand project, but its owners will be holding freehold deeds, whereas the square’s properties are all leasehold.

Infinity is priced from Bt117,000 per square metre and its units are billed as the most expensive in the city. The view from the top of the 37-floor structure promises to be spectacular, overlooking the inner city as well as the Chao Phya River.

Its smallest unit measuring 85 square metres is being sold for about Bt10 million. Its large penthouse units cover more than 300 square metres, and are selling for about Bt35 million each.

A large sales office with two mock-up units have been completed inside the former embassy grounds.

Viewers will see from the mock-up rooms that the residences will sport a ceiling height of about three metres. The fittings will be a blend of hardwoods, granite and other quality finishings.

The area is accessible from both Narathiwat and Sathorn roads. When driving there, be careful and note that the safest route is through the gates on Sathorn side.

If you miss the narrow Narathiwat entrance, it will mean you have to circle back via Silom Road to get to the site. Traffic flow here is one way and quite heavy.

Since the sales office opened, it has drawn a great deal of attention from both locals and expatriates. The grand launch is expected next month.

With the worsening traffic conditions and toxic-fume build-up, inner-city residences such as Infinity are attracting buyers who want to avoid wasting several hours commuting on congested expressways every day.

The location is within a short distance of most of the key centres in the financial district. It is also surrounded by corporate headquarters, fine hotels, embassies and shopping centres.

The Russian Embassy vacated the grounds in 1999 after being based there for 50 years. The new leaseholder of the 11-rai site is Golden Land.

When the firm acquired the lease, it faced the task of building an extraordinary structure that would be able to command high rental yields.

After years of fine-tuning, work on the square has begun in earnest.

Golden Land wants Sathorn Square to be Bangkok’s answer to global retail zones such as London’s Mayfair and New York’s Fifth Avenue.

In all, the square will have 120,000 square metres of built-up area. Infinity will have 17,000 square metres.

To spruce up the undertaking, Golden Land is currently working on restoration work at the embassy grounds to retain its rich history, which stems from the turn of he 20th century, when the buildings were first constructed.

shit, another great success following Athenee Residence part! Will bring some cash to Golden Land as they get 30% within 3 months even without any construction works!

.....and more than 90% in 6 months, not bad at all.

From total of 108 units, 91% sold. which means 99 units has been sold.

wow, percentage wise Infinity is very successful!------Athenee Residence 85% sold now (187 units out of 219 units sold already)....I heard Regent Residence is struggling more (even despite central location).....

I went to the Regent Residence, it's now above 40% sold.

I wouldn't be suprised if Regent does not sell too well.

It is a central location, but in my opinion it is a bad location. OK, maybe good for a hotel, but bad for a residence, especially if you are aiming at people who can afford to choose what part of town to live in.

It is a full-on tourist area with lots of bars and street prostitution. It is not a high class or prestigious place to be. Personally, I don't think it will change too much either.

If you are a wealthy Thai person, would you choose to purchase a condo around here? No chance.

If you are a wealthy foreigner, why would you choose to live there? Do you really want to walk out of your home every day past massage parlour touts, "tourist survey" people, and then squeeze your way to the skytrain past all the tourists brousing fake t-shirts and DVDs at market stalls? Even if you wanted to be on Sukhumvit, the Phrom Phong/Thonglor areas are so much better and offer many high class places to live.

Actually I think the Regent has done well to sell 40%. :)

.....and more than 90% in 6 months, not bad at all.

and they are asking 30% deposit from the all unit price to be paid within 3 months after booking

yes, i really don't like that location... and if you look carefully at latest success in the market in high-end (Athenee Residence and Infinity), mostly buyers are Thai. And as you said, i don't know much Thai wanna live in Nana area, even in Sukumvit except Emporium and Tonglor.

i also surprised that they already achieved 40% sold in Regent.

that area will change a little in the future imo.
the bma has instructed them to expand the soi and chuwit is opening his park across the street soon (hopefully).
i think the ultimate result will be that the street stalls' current stretch from soi 1 to soi 19 will be reduced to soi 1 - soi 13 and then soi 15 - 19, because hotels like the sofitel and regent will not allow loitering outside their hotels.

I agree with the above statement completely....however, I think the target customers (intentionally or unintentionally) of the Regent Residence are: foreigners who actually like and seek-out the described environment (as odd as that seems) and Thais who plan to periodically rent-out to foreigners (who in turn like that environment)...

You will note that the Nana general area is very popular with "certain types" of foreign tourists and resident expats. (I'm not saying this is good or bad, but it's a fact). I am guessing that such "type" of tourist/resident doesn't usually purchase higher-end condos (by choice or necessity)....so 40% sell out rate at Regent is probably pretty good (although the bank (I think Krung Thai) financing the project in stages might not think so)...

anyway, I hope the Regent Hotel (if its at least as nice as the ones in Singapore, KL and Taipei) will "class up" the immediate area adjacent to Sukhumvit (and even possibly clear up the path to the BTS station stairway or even create a new sky bridge entrance).....

By stark contrast, I noticed that the crowd of people attending the Athenee Residence buyers' party in Feb (grand lotto prize being a One Million Baht!! deduction in the price of the condo purchased) was of a completely different "type" of crowd (about half foriegn (Western and Eastern) and the other half Thai). Athenee Residence is still on Sukhumvit/Ploenchit Road (corner of Ruam Rudi) and just one BTS station stop away from Nana station, but it's in a completely different universe from Regent Residence in my opinion.

that area will change a little in the future imo.
the bma has instructed them to expand the soi and chuwit is opening his park across the street soon (hopefully).
i think the ultimate result will be that the street stalls' current stretch from soi 1 to soi 19 will be reduced to soi 1 - soi 13 and then soi 15 - 19, because hotels like the sofitel and regent will not allow loitering outside their hotels.

I hope you are right :) that would be great!! and add GREEN TO Sukhumvit!
you mean Sukhumvit soi 1-11, then 15-19 right?? Regent is between soi 11 and 13 (if I remember right)..

The Park is exactly located opporsite Sofitel, and The Regent is only a block of shophouse away from it.

Eventually that whole area will change - but it will take plenty of time...

What do you think that area will (eventually) change to?

How will it be significantly different from the present?

Just wondering... :)

yea speed the regent is on the corner of soi 13, but the sofitel is in between soi 13 and 15. Theyll probably open within a year of each other and im pretty sure these 2 hotels will clean the area up a little, in addition to this fantasy park being built.

i don't think it will be possible to get rid of that 'type' of crowd or attraction from lower sukhumvit though. because as long as there is supply there is always going to be patrons seeking their services, and so long as there are corrupt politicians and policemen who allow these services to be provided, there will be that 'type' of crowd.

i don't think it will be possible to get rid of that 'type' of crowd or attraction from lower sukhumvit though.

Yeah, that is my way of thinking too. Two more posh hotels in that area is not going to turn it all around. They already have the Sheraton, Landmark, Marriott and Westin there but they are still outnumbered by the numerous mid-range places.

If you compare lower Sukhumvit to ten years ago it is actually becoming MORE trashy and nightlife-shopping oriented with proliferating pubs/bars, massage shops etc. 10 years ago there wasn't much of that outside the main "zones", now it is out on the main road and (increasingly) in every soi. Once a temporary bar area gets crushed (e.g. Soi 10, Sofitel area) more just crops up elsewhere. Previously non-decript sois like Soi 7/1 are now full of bars and "spas" (ahem).

Sure, "Chuwit Park" will brighten up the area. However, I can only see it as being dominated by male tourists and their "companions". Perhaps befitting Mr. Chuwit himself :) Like it or not, lower Sukhumvit is a mid-class tourist area with its main attractions being nightlife and to a lesser extent shopping. It will always struggle to compete as a "high class" tourist area as other parts of Bankgok (e.g. by the river or Silom-Sathorn-Wittayu) are better locations. So personally, I don't see what alternative "land use" for Lower Sukhumvit would be more "lucrative" than the present situation...

For now you're right, but ultimately economics will out. If land prices rise enough on the back of a few more good hotels and some expensive local bars / restaurants - and IF the park is nice - some of the "regulars" might head off to Cambodia. A lot of them are on a low budget, after all. But also needs a lift like a good shopping centre - maybe whe the park's shelf-life is up?

i really hope the park isn't temporary and is donated to the public so something ridiculous like a shopping mall cannot replace it.
But the long term trend will inevitably be higher land prices thus resulting in the inability of these bars to sprout in every corner. I seriouslly doubt nana plaza in soi 4 will be closed in the short or medium term though.

speed: I think the reason the area has gotten trashier in the past decade is because of the financial crisis. Not only did this result in more women offering their services but also in landlords willing to sell/rent their premises at lower rates. In times of economic hardship there are only a few things one can sell; food, water and sex.

Thinking on another side Hitesh. Chuwit, He's a member of Parliament "temporary park" or such a thing could effects or downseeds his reputation and party's recognision.

IMO lower Sukhumvit has improved bit by bit over the past few years.

There are some annoying trends though..
- many of the 'inappropriate' bars are facing Sukhumvit these days, they could be restricted to inside some soi like it probably was before
- too many street vendors
- that on hold structure (Honda showroom) is an eyesore
- early closing hours suck no matter where it is
- is Sukhumvit rd still divided by those temporary concrete blocks or were they gone a long time ago?

Golden Land counts on themes as new magnets


KANANA KATHARANGSIPORN

The luxury property developer Golden Land Property Development Plc plans to add a theme concept to its future housing projects with the aim of adding value and differentiating its offerings from those of market rivals.

Chief executive Liakat Dhanji said the company planned to spend 100 million baht to develop a community centre including a hairdressing shop, spa, childcare centre and small coffee shop in the Golden Heritage, a high-end housing project located in the Pin Klao area.

``The development of the theme concept in each project will respond to lifestyle of the target group in each location,'' he said.

The company yesterday launched its beach town in the Golden Nakara project, with 250 units of Mediterranean-style houses located on New Rama IX-Onnuj 69 Road. It cost over 60 million baht to develop the theme.

The beach-town concept includes a private beach, grotto slides, island slides, children and animal rides, a rock-climbing wall, mushroom waterfalls and huge waterfalls with spa and sauna rooms.

The second phase of the project, with an average price of 10 million baht a unit, is scheduled to be launched by the end of 2005, said Mr Dhanji.

He said the company planned to issue a bond worth three billion baht in the third quarter. About 1.1 billion baht would be used to refinance projects while the rest would be kept as reserve as the company can now use loans from financial institutions for development, he said.

Mr Dhanji said 90% of the company's luxury condominium project, the 1.8-billion-baht Infinity on Sathorn Road, had been sold within two months after launch. It plans to launch The Infinity 2 by the end of this year.

Golden Land will also develop new projects worth 2.4 billion baht on Rama II Road and convert the Ramkhamhaeng Complex into a condominium worth three billion baht by 2006, he said.

The company has four projects, in the Sathorn-Ring Road, Srinakarin, Pin Klao and Bang Na-Trat areas worth a combined 22.9 billion baht. About 34% of the total value, or 7.7 billion baht, has been sold.

During the first quarter of 2005, the company recorded consolidated revenue of 577 million baht, a 10% drop from the same period of 2004. It generated revenue of 478 million baht from housing sales, decreasing by 22% from 584 million baht in the same period of 2004.

``The housing market in the first quarter of the year is competitive amid the economic slowdown. Our net loss of two million baht was from a decrease in revenue and an increase of corporate income tax,'' Mr Dhanji said.

He said the company expected to realise revenue of 2.5 billion baht from housing sales of 4-4.5 billion baht this year.

GOLD shares closed unchanged yesterday on the SET at 6.50 baht, in trade worth 24,000 baht.

wow, sold out already! great... i am excited to spend some times in Bkk's Venisa as i never get change to go to the real Venisa. BTW, is there any place for Infinity 2 in that development? if yes, it means there will kick some hotel/oddice space to build another condo, does not it?

I'm expecting The Infinity II in other location, different site. :)

This Building is 37 floors.

Yes I agree Infinity II must be in a different location...the rest of Sathorn Square project is leasehold (not freehold like Inifinity I) and also ear-marked for other buildings.... :)

but where where is Inifinity II?? I hope I can save, beg and borrow and get a unit there (if not 30% downpayment in cash) :)

Infinity II will be "on".....Sathorn Road,....I think ;)

wow, I didnt know there were any empty spots "on' Sathorn.....maybe just Sathorn area right? many people say "New Sathorn" when they refer to Narithiwat (Klong Nonsi) which is tricky because something on New Sathorn can be very far from the real business area of Sathorn :)

wait, just dont take it too serious...thats just my predictation...:)

anyway, ofcouse there are "some" landplots "on" Sathorn Road that ready for projects to rise...;)

no prob...just exciting to know there's an Infinity II :) ...but I hope they name it different (but with cool name like Infinity) "The Luxor" or "The Carlton" or ..... :)

"The Lexington"...;)

opposite Urbana Sathorn there is a small plot from what i remember. dunno also... or maybe can go out to riverside?

The former side of Dao Vien Restorante is also now available for new development.

really< where is it? is that at the intersection, where used to have S&P retaurant?

No, Dao Vien Res is hmm....Somewhere Between the Thailand Elite Card Office and The Byer Office.

"The Lexington"...;)

how bout "The Ultimate" brother of "The Infinity" :)
or "Optimus Maximus" (the best and greatest!) or "The Jupiter"

The company mentioned something about "themed development"...musta be some name with a very clear meaning...like "The Monarch" for Monaco...or something.

nice name......................

"The Monte-Carlo" the beautiful district of Monaco, the Principality on the sea. :)

Monte Carlo..............
in Monaco...........
i've seen it on TV or something..........
looks really rich and extravagant...............

yup its sooo great looking there... I visited once! took a train from beaches at Cannes to Nice and stopping on the way to the Italian Rivieria---so cool :) "Monte Carlo" might be a good name for a top condo too (with art deco style?)..

I like these names..

"The Herizon"
"The Marc"
"The Palladium"
"The Olympus"....:D

this tower looks elegant............

Actually, It's on Narathiwat Rachnakarin Road.

But it's in "Sathorn area", if we talking about Narathiwas...most people would imagine to the further area down on the Narathiwas Road. I dont really want this topic to occurs as a confusion.

anyway

June 25, 3005

Not exactly about The Infinity but Most Sathorn Square Development land area now cleared.

Oh. Old Russian embassy. Like a mystery house. I am bristling of scary after seeing some inside photos in 2Bangkok. Dont want to see again. :runaway:

okey, sorry

the russian em. is very pretty it just needs some touches.............

I just heard from a friend that a little old lady refuses to sell her little shop house in front of the Infinity project (so a little shop house might still be there)......is that true???

thats bad...................
how big is the shop???.............

Yes, Golden Land did asked for acquisition long ago (since they first started working on masterplan) and the owner refused and asked for a higher price(probably they thought the company would accept the offer) but sadly, the company no longer interested.

Instead, they planned the masterplan without that Little land plot included which doesnt really matters to the conclusion.

And now somehow the owner back on trying to sell their little land plot again, and It' just megnificantly impossible if only Goldenland gonna buy it due to very small plot and very hard to make any profitable development out of it....no one will ever but it..:no:

but will it spoil clean street profile of Infinity? or will they just surround it with tall bushes :|

I think if 7-11 or Family Mart opens there in the future, it will be a win-win situation which considered as a surplus to The Development profile....just my view by imagining I live there :)

oh my!

heh..why dont you take a pic of the shop? :D

..

i hate when property developers do this.
that lady's land is worthless now.

I heard that the lady got too greedy and wanted way too much money (because developer is a big company and was planning a big project).....her greed backfired and they actually just said keep the land....(but I havent confirmed this story)......

..

ive seen that on one too many occasions as well.
everybody trying to get a piece of the pie.

she was apparently trying to get a piece of pie in her mouth, one in her pocket, another in her purse and one on each hand (and then she even asked for MORE hehe.....went a bit crazy like "Smeegle" on Lord of the Rings, Two Towers :) )...

yes, infacts the lady asked way too much money for that piece of land (she urged for 160,000 baht per Sq.Wah) which total way fowarded from the normal 100,000 B/sq.W price.

Goldenland spended their time on the negotiation over half a year just for the piece of land and yet to prevent the whole project from any further delayed, decision made to cut out that plot for easier future.

have they started on piling/foundation for the Infinity yet? I havent been to that location in a while :)

According to all news articles, they will actually start constructing it at the begining of next year.

so they finally delay. hope it is not because of tht lady ;)

Oh IC I thought they would start in the second half of 2005.....oh well

so they finally delay. hope it is not because of tht lady ;)


Delay?, I thought thats the original schdule.

dont know, from what i remember, it was in Aug-Sep 2005, but i probably mistaken.
